I for one don't "require" three meals a day, but I'm hungry in the morning, ergo, I like breakfast.
It's not so much about how often you eat but what and how much. Generally speaking, of course, I can't speak for any benefits of intermittent fasting (assuming equal daily calorie / macronutrient intake) because I'm uneducated in that regard. But TL;DR, I will agree that desk jockeys will need less calories than people with a more active job or lifestyle, and people need to adjust their lifestyle accordingly else they'll gain weight.
- foobarian 1y agoMaybe this goes away after a while, but when I tried this in the past I get so hungry I can't think or work. So clearly it's a non-starter for me on work days.
- codr7 1y agoIt takes time to get used to the feeling, to accept that it's not dangerous, quite the opposite. Also the body gets used to not being full all the time, it will stop signalling so hard. Try it in the weekends first? Once you start enjoying the feeling, and you will, it will happen by itself.
- dredmorbius 1y agoOne approach is to first reduce carbs (and particularly highly-processed carbs), then begin intermittent fasting. An initial lower-carb diet for 2--4 weeks may help with compliance on the IF diet.
- codr7 1y agoYeah, the problem with mornings is that it's probably the worst time of day to eat. Because the body flushes all stored up energy when you wake up, likely an evolutionary adaptation as breakfast was rarely served on a silver plate.
